This study was designed to investigate whether there is an antagonistic effect of MsC—derived IL—1 and PGE2 on MsC proliferation. Experimental results showed that: (1)MsC stimulated by LPS could produce IL—1; (2) MsC stimulated by MsC—derived IL—1 could release PGE2; (3) exogenous PGE2(100ug/ml) inhibited the MsC proliferation induced by MsC—derived IL—1; (4) indomethacin(2ug/ml) which inhibited the production of endogenous PGE2, enhanced the MsC proliferation induced by MsC—derived IL—1. The results suggest that there is a self—regulation effect on MsC proliferation by MsC—derived IL—1 and PGE2. Clinically, the beneficial effect of PGE2 should be protected, so that the abuse of indomethacin in the treatment of glomerulonephritis should be avoided.

Objective To establish the allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR) for detection of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia related gene SLCO1B1 A388G polymorphism and apply this assay to identify the clinical samples.Methods According to SLCO1B1 A388G polymorphism loci,specific primers were designed and the assay was established.Wide type plasmid and mutant plasmid were constructed.Fifty clinical samples were selected,including 30 samples of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia that had been diagnosed with SLCO1B1 A388G mutant and 20 samples of healthy newborns without SLCO1B1 A388G mutant were selected as the controls.Wide type plasmid,mutant plasmid and clinical samples were tested by specific and non-specific primers.A388G polymorphism was determined by difference in Ct (cycle threshold) between specific and non-specific primers.Then,the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of assay were evaluated.Results The difference in Ct (cycle threshold) between specific and non-specific primers that amplified equivalent wide type template was 13.97 ±0.75.The assay could correctly distinguish the wide type and mutant plasmid.Probit regression analysis showed the sensitivity of the assay could reach to 5.28 copies/μL.For clinical samples,the Ct values of the samples with A388G mutation was less than 37.75 and showed positive results,while the samples without A388G mutation did not show any amplification nor Ct values were larger than 37.75,which showed negative results.Conclusions ASPCR is a fast,simple and effective method for SLCO1B1 A388G polymorphism detection of the clinical simples.It can be used for large sample screening for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia gene loci.

Objective To investigate the value of protective transverse colostomy in decreasing postoperative anastomotic leakage and stricture after laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 128 patients with rectal cancer who were admitted to the Jinhua Hospital of Zhejiang University from March 2008 to February 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received laparoscopic anterior resection of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.Sixty-one patients received protective transverse colostomy (colostomy group) and 67 patients did not receive protective transverse colostomy (non-colostomy group).The incidences of postoperative anastomotic leakage and stricture,condition of the patients and the prognosis of the patients in the 2 groups were compared.Patients were followed up via out-patient examination,in-patient chemotherapy or phone call till May 2013.All data were analyzed using the t test,chi-square test or Fisher exact probability.Results The overall incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage was 7.03％ (9/128).The incidences of postoperative anastomotic leakage in the colostomy group and non-colostomy group were 6.56％ (4/61) and 7.46％ (5/67),with no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.000,P ＞ 0.05).The systemic condition of 4 patients who were complicated with anastomotic leakage in the colostomy group was comparatively better,and all of them were cured by conservative treatment.The condition of 5 patients who were complicated with anastomotic leakage in the non-colostomy group was severe,and 4 of them received reoperation,with the reoperation rate of 4/5 ; the other patient received conservative treatment.There was significant difference in the reoperation rate between the 2 groups (P ＜0.05).The overall incidence of postoperative anastomotic stricture was 13.28％ (17/128).The incidences of postoperative anastomotic stricture in the colostomy group and the non-colostomy group were 19.67％ (12/61) and 7.46％ (5/67),with significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=4.133,P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of severe anastomotic stricture of the colostomy group and the non-colostomy group were 8.20 (5/61) and 0,respectively.Conclusion Protective transverse colostomy could not reduce the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage,but could mitigate the symptoms followed anastomotic leakage and reduce the reoperation rate.Protective transverse colostomy may improve the incidence of anastomotic stricture,therefore it should be applied cautiously.

BACKGROUND:Restoring the stability of the spine has become the consensus of spinal surgery. The canaloplasty technology has been continuously improved, but how can we get the good clinical effect of the canaloplasty, and the price affordable, many domestic scholars have to try al kinds of the improved operation methods. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical application value of cannulated screws fixation in canaloplasty. METHODS:From February 2011 to February 2013, total y 24 patients with spinal disease treated by canaloplasty using cannulated screw were retrospectively analyzed, of which 12 cases of cervical stenosis, 2 cases of intraspinal tumor in thoracic and 10 cases of intraspinal tumor in lumbar. Al patients were fol owed up after treatment. Postoperative CT and MRI were done in al patients. Clinical symptoms and radiographic changes were observed after treatment. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and the spinal canal cross-sectional area measurement were conducted in the patients with cervical stenosis between the preoperation and postoperation. Visual analog scale score was evaluated in patients who have the tumor in the thoracolumbar spine between the preoperation and postoperation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients had no complications such as nerve or blood vessel damage. Al patients were fol owed up 12 to 24 months. Imaging evaluation showed that internal fixator was stable without the hol ow screw loss or displacement. The bone grafting in groove reached bone fusion. There was no occurrence of lamina col apse or“re-close of door”. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and spinal canal cross-sectional area of patients with cervical stenosis during the fol ow-up after 12 months of treatment were significantly superior to those in preoperation (P<0.01). After 12 months of treatment, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores showed that the excel ent rate of classification assessment was 92%. During the fol ow-up after 12 months of treatment, the visual analog scale of patients with thoracolumbar tumor improved from (8.2±1.6) points before treatment to (2.3±1.3) points at the first year after discharge (P=0.004 2). These results suggest that the application of cannulated screws in the canaloplasty can not only enhance the stability of the rear pil ar, and can improve the healing rate of osteotomy, and has the characteristics of inexpensive, easy to operate, and repair effect is good.

Aim To explore the role of resveratrol (Res)on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by iso-proterenol (ISO)and the relationship with endoplas-mic reticulum stress (ERS).Methods Hypertrophic model of cardiomyocytes was induced by ISO.Hyper-trophy status of cardiomyocytes was determined by measuring the cell surface area and the gene expression of ANP.The value of apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry,the content of LDH and MDA was measured in different groups,and the gene and protein expres-sions of GRP78 and CHOP were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.Results Res could attentuate ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis by reducing the cell surface area,the gene expression of ANP and the value of apoptosis.Res could inhibit ERS by downregulating the gene and protein expression of GRP78 and CHOP.Meanwhile,the content of LDH and MDA was decreased.Conclusions The results suggest that treatment of Res may protect cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,which is partially mediated by inhibiting the expression of ERS factors GRP78 and CHOP.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of detecting serum DJ-1 protein combined with CA125 for epi?thelial ovarian tumors. Methods Double antibody sandwich method and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay were used to determine the serum levels of DJ-1 protein and CA125 in 82 cases of epithelial ovarian tumors and 80 non-ovarian tumor cases (control group). The clinical significance of detecting serum DJ-1 protein combined with CA125 was analyzed. Results The expression levels of DJ-1 and CA125 were significantly higher in ovarian tumor group than those in the con?trol group (P<0.05). The critical value of serum DJ-1 was 6.800μg/L and 6.965μg/L in ovarian cancer group compared with the control group and non-ovarian tumor group. The sensitivity of combined detection of DJ-1 and CA125 was higher than that of any marker alone. Conclusion The detecting serum levels of DJ-1 combined with CA125 are helpful to the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, which can be a good marker of ovarian cancer and may improve the early diagnosis rate of ovarian cancer.

Objective To study the molecular genetic polymorphism of exons 1,5, 6, 7 of HLA-C gene in Chinese population and evaluate the significance of additional sequencing based typing at exons 1,5, 6, 7 of HLA-Cw gene in clinical HLA matching, Methods A total of 324 individuals were typed at exons 2,3, 4 of HLA-C gene by sequence-based typing. If ambiguities appeared outside of exons 2 -4, we designed a total of 5 in-house sequencing primers and optimized the sequencing reaction, additional sequencing based typing at exons 1,5, 6, 7 was performed to solove the emerging ambiguities. Results In the three hundred and twenty-four samples typed by PCR-SBT at exons 2, 3 and 4 of HLA-Cw gene, 23.8 % (77/324) of the typed samples were assigned the conclusive genotype in four digital level 76. 2% (247/324) of the typed samples were given with the ambiguous allele combination results, in which 73 kinds of ambiguous allele combinations were detected. Increasing the additional sequencing analysis at exons 1, 5, 6, 7 of HIA-C gene, ten frequent ambiguities including Cw* 030201/030202, Cw* 070201/0750, Cw* 040101/0409N/0430, Cw* 0403/0409N/0430, Cw* 080101/0822 could be distinguished. ConclusionsIncreasing the sequencing anlysis at exons 1, 5, 6 and 7 of HLA-Cw gene will help to make clear the ambiguous SBT results and also improve the accuracy of HLA-Cw typing. It shows important significance in clinical histoeompatibility matching.

BACKGROUND: As a micro-injurying and reduplicative treatment of osteoarthritis,the arthroscopic debridement has got the affirmation of numerous scholars. But as one of the standard procedures in artnroscopic debridement,synovectomy is called in question recently.OBJECTIVE: To explore the applied value of synovectomy in the arthroscopic debridement of osteoarthritis.DESIGN: Retrospective controlled analysis.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Fushun Central Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Sixty-five patients received synovectomy in the arthroscopic debridement of knee joint osteoarthritis in the Department of Orthopaedics,Fushun Central Hospital from February 1997 to December 2000.Thirty-two among them,with complete data and over 1 year's followup,were taken for synovectomy group. Forty-eight patients received the arthroscopic debridement of knee joint osteoarthritis without synovectomy in the Department of Orthopaedics,Fushun Central Hospital from January 2001 to November 2003.Thirty among them,with complete data and over 1 year's follow-up,were taken for control group.METHODS: Synovectomy was taken as the factor of intervention in the operation to perform grouping. The analysis of curative effect was performed to control with joint douching,corpus liberum removal,osteophyma cleaning,meniscus fitting,cartilage gouging,synovectomy and without synovectomy or part synovectomy. Lysholm evaluation standard of knee joint osteoarthritis was used to the knee joint functional evaluation beween preoperation and postoperative 1 year in two groups. And operative time,postoperative draining quantity,postoperative 7-day visual analog score,postoperative 1-year Lysholm score of knee joint, were recorded.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative and postoperative 1-year Lysholm score of knee joint,operative time,postoperative draining quantity,postoperative 7-day visual analog score.RESULTS: Sixty-two patients were included and all of them entered the result analysis.The preoperative patients in two groups were comparable with each other and the differences of Lysholm score were not significant (t=0.127,P=0.899).The operative time was longer in synovectomy group than in control group,the differences were significant (t=9.547,P ＜ 0.001)and the postoperative draining quantity was more in synovectomy group.The postoperative visual analog score was bigger in synovectomy group than in control group and the differences were significant [the scores of synovectomy and control groups were respectively (4.6±1.1),(2.8±1.4),t=6.206,P ＜ 0.001].The differences of knee joint score in 1-year follow-up were not significant [the scores of synovectomy and control groups were respectively (77.6±11.9),(79.0± 10.3),t=0.562,P=0.576].CONCLUSION: Synovectomy can not increase the curative effect in the near future in the arthroscopic debridement of osteoarthritis. On the contrary,the operative time was longer,the operative wound was larger and postoperative reaction was more serious. It should not be used in the debridement generally.

AIM:To observe the role of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the regulation of pulmonary artery tension.METHODS:The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was detected by laser-scanning confocal micros-copy, and the pulmonary artery tension was determined by the pulmonary arterial ring technique .RESULTS: Increased levels of [Ca2+]o or Gd3+(an agonist of CaSR) induced the increase in [Ca2+]i and pulmonary artery constriction in a concentration-dependent manner.Additionally, the effects of Ca2+and Gd3+were inhibited by U73122 and D609 (specific inhibitor of PLC), and 2-APB and heparin (specific antagonist of IP3 receptor).However, U73343 (U73122 inactive ana-logue) did not take effect.CONCLUSION: CaSR may be involved in the regulation of pulmonary artery tension by in-creasing [Ca2+]i through G-protein-PLC-IP3 pathway.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety,and short-term therapeutic effect of laparoscopic azygoportal disconnection without splenectomy for cirrhotic portal hypertension (PLT count ＞ 50 × 109/L).Methods Clinical data of 48 patients with bleeding portal hypertension and secondary hypersplenism (PLT count ＞ 50 × 109/L) undergoing laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection (LSD,n =26) vs.laparoscopic azygoportal disconnection (LD,n =22) between January 2014 and August 2015 were analyzed.Results Operative time (82 ± 29) min,intraoperative blood loss 20(10-50) ml,days of postoperative fever 0(0-3) d,rate of postoperative fever 10/22,postoperative hospital stay (7.0 ± 1.3) d,and WBC counts (3.8 ± 1.6) × 109/L,PLT counts 64 (49-88) × 109/L,and the incidence of portal vein thrombosis on POD 7 (14％),were significantly less in LD group than in LSD group [(180±41) min,80(20-500) ml,2(0-4) d,(22/26),(10.8 ±3.0) d,(9.1 ±3.1) × 109/L,156 (78-630) × 109/L,(42％)],(t =9.637,Z =-4.746,Z =-2.314,x2 =8.224,t =5.794,t =7.785,Z=-5.508,x2 =4.742,all P ＜ 0.05).Immune function was better in LD group than in splenectomy group at postoperative month 3.The serum proportion of CD4 + (58 ± 11) and the CD4 +/CD8 + ratio (1.9 ±0.7) at postoperative month 3 were significantly higher after LD than after LSD [(43 ± 14),(1.2 ± 0.9)],(t =-3.755,t =-2.509,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic azygoportal disconnection without splenectomy is safe and effective for esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage and moderate hypersplenism (PLT ＞ 50 × 109/L) secondary to portal hypertension.
